Bryan Sienerth and Derek Barach scored in the first period as the Lakers held on for a one-goal victory on the road against the Colonials.
Barach was involved in both goals for the Lakers, adding the primary assist on Sienerth’s game-opening goal at the 6:40 mark. Late in the first period, he scored on the power play with one second remaining in the period.
Michael Louria scored halfway through the second period to pull RMU within one goal, potting the strike just after a penalty expired. At the 5:48 mark, Jack Riley took a five minute major and game misconduct for checking from behind. The goal came two seconds after the Lakers killed the entire thread without a goal allowed.
The Colonials were unable to solve goaltender Brandon Wildung down the stretch. They attempted 26 shots on goal, including nine in the third period.
